nerdy wedding inspiration!

The internet (okay, Etsy) is a treasure trove of creativity and people who are better at sculpting, painting, and just all around crafting than me. Click through to check out 9 amazing nerdy wedding cake toppers (plus a bonus, delicious steampunk goody that I had to include!). Continue reading →

If you’re a fan of campy, amazing horror movies, you’ll love The Ash Dress, and probably everything else in Nerd Alert Designs‘ store on Etsy. Crissy, the owner of the store, makes gorgeous nerdy dresses for fans of all different beloved classics, from Star Wars to X-men to Doctor Who. Says Crissy of Nerd Alert Designs:

“Welcome to nerd alert designs- where nerdy meets flirty!
Our goal is to design and create vintage inspired versions of your favorite game, comic, anime, cartoon and movie characters.
Several of our garments are made from recycled or reclaimed fabrics such as sheets, curtains or other former garments.
Other costumes have a ‘day-to-night’ feature, where everything that makes it a ‘costume,’ be it a cape, logo, boots or what have you, is completely removable, leaving you with an adorable and functional dress!”

The wedding is themed around our shared love of books (each table at the reception is themed around a different genre) but I wanted something that reflected my passions as well – I eventually talked my fiancé into letting me have one gaming reference and we settled on these. I spent a couple of hours making them on Friday night.

Pheadlessg ordered the turrets from Think Geek, and added the decorations – the veil is silk and a pre-made flower, and the hat and bow-tie are made out of foam. They’re different! (That’s a turret joke.)

Congrats on the awesome cake toppers, and thanks for sharing! Hopefully there’s really a cake for them to go on top of.

I’m so excited to share my first Nerd-Weddings vendor review. I hope to do a lot of these posts to share information and insight on all of the fabulous nerdy vendors out there on the world wide web.

I never played Dungeons & Dragons or any other game that needed more than a standard die until I met my boyfriend. Now I’m fascinated with dice of all shapes and sizes, and I’m unnecessarily proud of my sparkly pink “princess” dice. Dice can be used in so many different ways for a wedding…click through for a list of geeky dice-themed goodies that would be awesome at any gamer’s wedding. Continue reading →

This may not be the newest nerdy wedding cake to hit the net, but it’s so cool that I couldn’t not share it. City Cakes NY created this amazing wedding cake around the release of The Dark Knight Rises, and the details are awesome, from the screen-accurate joker cards on and around the cake to the painted-on Joker faces on the cake topper. This cake shows serious dedication to a theme, and I applaud the bakery and the couple who commissioned it.
